The AFC is an absolutely loaded conference with tons of quarterback talent, but who will be the starting signal callers when the season begins?  There will be more quarterback movement this offseason in both conferences.

The AFC is absolutely loaded.  There are a ton of teams that can make the playoffs and some up and coming squads as well.

Making predictions can be very difficult as no one truly knows what’ll happen until it does.  But we’re going to make an attempt to predict the starting QB for each team in the AFC this season.

Predicting the AFC starting QBs for the 2023 season – AFC North

Baltimore Ravens – Lamar Jackson

I just don’t think the Ravens let Lamar Jackson play for another team in 2023.  He’s a former MVP and the most dynamic quarterback in the NFL.  This would be a massive mistake in not locking him up for the long-term.

Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow

Next…

Cleveland Browns – Deshaun Watson

They gave him a fully guaranteed contract and I don’t think his bad play in 2022 will spill over.  He went so long without seeing the football field, so I think he’ll be fine.

People do forget how good Watson was, I think.

Pittsburgh Steelers – Kenny Pickett

Kenny Two Gloves seems to have the Pittsburgh aura to him and I think the Steelers will make genuine strides to try and improve the offensive line and get him another weapon or two.
